Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), with a specific gravity of 1.019–1.063 g/mL and a particle size of 19–22 nm, is recognized as a causative molecule of atherosclerosis. Foam cells, formed by macrophages that accumulate modified LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), like oxidized LDL-C, promote atherosclerosis. In addition, hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for myocardial infarction.

摘要

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), with a specific gravity of 1.019–1.063 g/mL and a particle size of 19–22 nm, is recognized as a causative molecule of atherosclerosis. Foam cells, formed by macrophages that accumulate modified LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), like oxidized LDL-C, promote atherosclerosis. In addition, hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for myocardial infarction.
